Woman's Body: An Owner's Manual

This is a great Woman's body book with many illustrations. It was popular in the late 1970's. Very informative and worth the money.

I was impressed by how much information the authors fit into this one book: it's like a guide to a woman's body. One thing I especially liked about it was how well-organized it is: it has clearly-marked sections so you can flip to what you want to read easily. Full of helpful, simple diagrams. I thought I knew everything there was to know about my body until I read this book. Also does a good job correcting some of the common myths about everything from menstruation to rape. Has especially good information on contraceptives, how to keep yourself safe from assault, and a basic overview of every part of the body (from your eyes to your skin). Unlike some women's health books, this one covers more than the typical topics of menopause and menstruation. My only disappointments were that it barely covered same-sex love between women (barely two pages), and I would have liked more information on self-stimulation. Still, a great resource.

this guide has been available for years and is an excellent, well done, treatise. i have used it for my wife and daughters and close friends with complete confidence that no value is abridged; social, religious, etc.it should be on every parent's shopping list for any child entering puberty. certainly, a must for any adult!obviously, it has limitations on technical stuff, but the info is useful and if used it will help any reader.

I received my copy in 1989 before the birth of my first child [I have 8 all mine], I didn't understand the worth of what I had. The timeline diagram of age and effect was awesome. The indepth coverage from puberty thru menapause was phemomental. It had chapters for every aspect of the female form including special chapters on sexuality, male/female and female/female relationships. It was and still is a must have. I would like to give all my daughters and nieces a copy, so this wonderous work could be enjoyed
